the "WH" said it would refuse supoenas regarding the Solyndra investigation as Obama, in so many words, too busy upholding his constitutional duties.

And now that he is getting ready to leave Washington for Bali for an extended period of time, here is what the WH is saying:

"He is, as president of the United States, obligated to travel around the world and represent American interests abroad at these gatherings," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "It is also true that he is fully capable, wherever he is, of exercising his authority and engaging with his staff here, with the administration, with members of Congress from abroad."

This part is worth repeating:

"...he is fully capable, wherever he is, of exercising his authority and engaging with his staff here,..."

The WH which of course is used interchangeably as a synonym for Obama, does not make any effort to keep track of what they said last or when ever. The only thing that matters to the WH or Obama is the here and now and the subject at hand. Which obviously by their actions and statements over the past three years have no concerns what so ever about continuity, credibility or truth. Just the subject and audience in front of them at the time. In this manner of "performing" they are very consistent.

Where is the credibility?
